Kyoto, the ancient capital with a history spanning over a millennium, has continually transformed with the changing seasons, while quietly safeguarding the roots of its culture.
When travelers walk through Kyoto, what they encounter is not only its scenery or traditions. They also come into contact with the ways of life that people have woven over generations, and with the “time of culture” embedded even in the smallest grains of material.
In this special feature, “Encountering a Thousand Years of Kyoto,” we visit businesses that face head-on the often-invisible process of cultural inheritance. Through their stories, we explore the essence of regenerative tourism—the practice of nurturing the future together with the local community.
This time, we introduce Nohga Hotel Kiyomizu Kyoto, quietly situatedin the heart of the Higashiyama–Kiyomizu area.
